The Durgor class was a type of light warship that saw service with the Cardassian Guard during the 24th century. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 2: Starships of the Cardassian Union; The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon)

The Durgor was one of the oddest shaped ships in the Cardassian fleet. It had a large semi-circular command hull with a broad neck that expands to meet a broader engineering hull. The engineering hull had a diamond shape and three external warp nacelles ( one port, one starboard and one dorsal). The design was based on Federation shipbuilding principles that the Cardassians picked up during the Federation-Cardassian War.

The class was typically used as a support craft for larger warships in fleet formations. Many Cardassian officers consider it a "lightweight" when compared to the Keldon, Kurgat and Thalon classes due to its weaker firepower and shields. It does have supports that value its speed and maneuverability over the larger warships. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 2: Starships of the Cardassian Union)
